Despite all the renovation horror stories going around, it still takes a certain type of person to attempt to design their home on their own without a designer.“The design of my first home was done out of necessity on the account of my paper-thin bank balance,” Ethan recalled.
It was a typical Singapore home from the 80s, but with hardly any decorations, and everything had its place and was kept out of sight when not in use.After collecting the key to his 63 square metre HDB flat, Ethan spent the next few weeks dreaming about how he wanted his home to look. He didn’t have a big budget, but he still had fun finding pragmatic solutions that fit his lifestyle without sacrificing form.
He said he would have preferred having false ceilings with downlights, but he didn’t want to blow his budget, so he went with white track lights that blended with the white ceilings, so they didn’t accentuate the low ceilings that most HDB flats have. Reasonably-priced foldable benches were added because he prefers to put on his shoes while seated, and they also make a great spot to place his groceries while he opens the door to his home.
Ethan also added picture frames to the otherwise plain wall and left three deliberately blank, with two Bauhaus Geometry Art in vibrant hues hanging above the dining table to break the monotony of the monochrome setting.
